The purpose of having a reward and recognition program as part of the organizational change management plan for large-scale change initiatives is to incentivize and acknowledge the behaviors, attitudes, and accomplishments that contribute to the success of the change effort. By providing tangible rewards and public recognition, employees are motivated to adopt new behaviors, embrace new processes, and sustain the changes over time. This can lead to increased employee engagement, improved morale, and higher levels of commitment to the organization's goals. Furthermore, a well-designed reward and recognition program can create a sense of community among employees, reinforcing a culture of collaboration and teamwork that can support ongoing change efforts. Overall, a reward and recognition program is an effective tool for reinforcing desired behaviors and encouraging a positive attitude towards organizational change, ultimately increasing the chances of achieving successful outcomes.
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is the idea that a for-profit company should focus on more than just the bottom line by also investing in its people and the community. As there is no “one-size-fits all” model, it is critical for non-profit leaders to understand CSR fundamentals in order to successfully develop mutually beneficial relationships with for-profit partners.
In this 2-hour interactive session, CSR Consultants Cliff Yee and Carol Chin-Fatt from Raffa, P.C. will explore how businesses today develop and implement CSR strategies and how that impacts your partnership strategies. Topics and discussion will include: the broad scope of CSR, case studies to illustrate best practices, how to develop strong, mission-aligned partnerships, and how forward thinking companies are investing in CSR.
Part I: CSR Fundamentals
• What is CSR?
• Why do companies engage in CSR?
• Establish the context of CSR today
• Explore how companies partner with nonprofits
Part II: Effectively Partnering with Forward Leaning Companies
• A framework for creating strategic partnerships
• The rise of B Corps
• Inside the mindset of corporate funders

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.
